extend.BasicObject

BasicObject.extend

extend,BasicObject-method

...className

Named values representing the fields of the new instance.

Simply speaking this method "extends another class". What is actually
  happening is that it creates an instance of class name <code>...className</code>,
  by taking another BasicObject instance and add <code>...className</code> to
  the class list and also add all the named values in <code>...</code> as fields to the
  new instance.

  The method should be used by the constructor of a class and nowhere else.

programming

Methods and classes for object-oriented programming in R
        with or without references.  Large effort has been made on
        making definition of methods as simple as possible with a
        minimum of maintenance for package developers.  The package has
        been developed since 2001 and is now considered very stable.
        This is a cross-platform package implemented in pure R that
        defines standard S3 classes without any tricks.
